What Pipl is

Pipl provides online identity information for identity verification, fraud prevention, contact and investigations. Its web SEARCH interface covers personal, professional, social, demographic, contact and relationship information. Users can query with a name, email, phone number or social media handle, and listed fields include addresses, usernames, URLs, birth dates, images, jobs, education and relationships. Pipl describes a database of over 3 billion online identities, more than 25 billion identity records and over 100 billion identity data points. Its API supplies real-time identity information for applications, with client libraries and code samples for popular programming languages. Pipl says its identity-resolution engine connects publicly available and vetted proprietary sources. Maltego Graph can query Pipl through documented Transforms. The service offers API and web access, lists direct-dial data, and provides pricing on request. Plans are Pipl Search and Pipl API.
